About

Mount Baldy is as tall as a 12 story building! And even more impressive, is that Mount Baldy’s what’s called a wandering dune. That means it can move up to ten feet per year. There used to be grass on the dune that held it in place. But after years of tourists climbing on it, the grass was destroyed. Now, the wind blows the sand around, causing the dune to change position. Mount Baldy is actually starting to overtake its own parking lot!

Getting to the beach requires a half-mile roundtrip hike around the dune, and includes stairs.
